Developing an Engineering DataBase for an Intergrated Structural Design System |
| Abstract |
This paper presents a database approach to integrating the structural analysis and design processes for a typical shear wall apartment building design. Our initial efforts have focused on extracting various graphic information from CAD(AutoCAD TM) systems. But now, we concentrate our research on organizing specific information generated during the structuralanalysis and design processes. The proposed overall system consists of a conventional structural analysis package, a conventional CAD system, and various application interface programs. This system is based on an engineering database which is developed by using the object-oriented data modelling approach. The system is implemented on the ORACLE TM-based relational database management system. |
